This northwest Seattle enclave of midcentury homes lights up block after block each December, and the crowds it draws can be substantial. Visitors are advised to park at the edge of the neighborhood and explore on foot.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Seattle is around 4:18 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 4:54 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 34°F, so dress for standing around outside.
